Updates

Pumpkin and Christopher the bunnies were spayed and neutered, respectively, yesterday. They're currently resting comfortably and awaiting forever homes.

You may recall that Lilly the rat saw the doctors for an eye issue. Luckily, the eye is already looking much better. With any luck, she'll adjust well and be ready for a forever home very soon.

In other veterinary news, Gibbs, McGee, and DiNozzo the dwarf hamsters will be going to the vet tomorrow afternoon to check out some suspicious looking spots on their tiny bellies. If there is something wrong, they sure don't act like it! Those three are just fluffy bundles of energy, and they love being held. They're still in foster care, awaiting their forever home, too.

The joys of pets

Last night as I watched the many rescues, I realized many of the things they do that I enjoy and makes me happy. I love watching the guinea pigs and rabbits, as I see a piece of hay disappear into their mouths, and they reach for another strand and that one slowly disappears into their mouth also. I love how the fish follow me around eagerly waiting for me to drop in some food. I love how the rats and ferrets poke their heads our of their hammocks or tubes when they hear me approaching. And last night I was watching Fagen, our head tilted rabbit, in his pen. He was hopping from toy to toy, and he tested and playing with each one, he nosed one and pushed it around, he grabbed a hold of the other and flung it in the air. He then dug inside his food bowl with his front paws, then proceeded to a pile of hay where he started munching away. Fagen looks really different, but he is a normal bunny in so many ways.
